What travelers are saying

"Our family's adventure with Touareg Trails was absolutely fantastic. From exciting buggy rides that had our kids thrilled to a delightful camel ride that enchanted them with the magic of the desert, every activity was tailored for family fun. The highlight was the unforgettable hot air balloon ride over Marrakech, providing us with a serene and breathtaking view of the city. The luxury camp in the desert was a hit with the entire family – warm hospitality, delicious traditional cuisine, and the rhythmic beats of Berber music created a magical atmosphere. Touareg Trails and their wonderful guide made sure every moment was kid-friendly, combining education about the culture with pure enjoyment. We highly recommend this family-friendly experience for an unforgettable adventure in Morocco. Thank you, Touareg Trails, for creating lasting memories for our family!"

What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy
